Next time I visit India I am planning my trip around the Holi, also known as the Festival of Colors. Nowadays the tradition has scattered all over the world. Even my neighbors in Saratoga threw a sort of Holi the day before they teared down their house. Take a look at the video and you[…]
For a few years now I’ve been saving bills from each country’s currency I visit. They don’t take up as much space as coins and are super lightweight. Every ounce counts when you are backpacking or living out of a carry-on for 5 weeks. As a designer, my favorites are color and name driven. Hong[…]
Although it’s 70 degrees in La Jolla (not like that ever changes) I’m pretending it’s chilly because I’m finalizing the fall collection for Borelli. Fall 2012 is leaning towards jewel tones and grandma chic, a random yet fun mix of prints and colors inspired by my travels in India and my late Grandmother Lorraine. To[…]
If you find yourself in Stockholm, Sweden, you must walk around the 13th century island of Gamla Stan.

Headed to wine country this weekend and I am pumped! I love visiting small wineries, meeting the families who live and work on the vineyard and exchanging travel stories with people from all over the world. This week’s recipe pairs well with an Italian red wine such as Brunello or Barbera.I experimented at a dinner[…]
